On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas launched a brutal assault on Israel. As 5,000 rockets slammed into civilian targets, terrorists massacred at least 1,200 Israelis, wounded about 3,500, and took 251 hostages. They raped, eviscerated, mutilated, beheaded, tortured, and incinerated their victims. At least 75 hostages have died, and about 20 remain in captivity.
Prior to the attack, 137 UN member countries recognized Palestinian statehood. Apparently unbothered by Hamas’ savagery, and distressed by Israel’s aggressive military response, 10 additional nations recognized Palestine after the attack. In the last month, Australia, Britain, Canada, and France provisionally joined them. Led by France, the European Union and 18 countries signed declarations criticizing Israel for defending itself and signaled that they too are poised to recognize Palestine. The United States is the last permanent member of the UN Security Council refusing to go along.
International support for a two-state solution obstructs ceasefire talks and “encourages and rewards” terrorism, Secretary of State Marco Rubio responded, while senior Hamas political bureau member Ghazi Hamad observed that Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack brought the Palestinian cause to the forefront, and “is why all the countries are starting to recognize a Palestinian state.” Israel’s chutzpah in defending itself is the other reason.
John Spence, the world-renowned chair of urban warfare at West Point, observes that no military fighting force has ever done more to avoid civilian casualties than Israel. Savvy Hamas propagandists falsely claim that Israel bombed the Al-Ahli hospital (struck by a Hamas rocket), killed Palestinians lining up for food (denied by aid groups, and disproved by video of terrorists firing on their own people), and starve Palestinians (tragically advanced by exploiting a genetically frail child).
There is almost no attention to the continued calls by Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis to exterminate the world’s 20 million Jews,

Shut up.
“”Shut up.””
The truth hurts, doesn’t it. You don’t want to hear it. But you need to. So perhaps you should be the one to “shut up”, eh?
Corrupt politicians on both sides. Does anyone believe that our Reps and Senators were unaware of all the fraud in USAID? Even if they are not participating they are aware.
Just put on your Nazi arm band already. You’re beyond the pale.
John Spencer, not John Spence.
His assessment isn’t above criticism

That’s all you’ve got....... you braindead sucker-——name calling.
Must make you feel s-o-oo-ooo good.
“”That’s all you’ve got....... you braindead sucker-——name calling.

Ironic hypocrisy... coming from you. What the hell do you think calling someone an “***-kissing sucker” and/or a “braindead sucker” is? It’s name calling (duh). And it’s funny... because usually, only stuckonstupid leftists engage in that level of name-calling and hypocrisy. Hmmm...
Aw.....shut the f*** up, you miserable dummy.
B.S.
The Jihadis want to turn YOUR town into rubble. What? 9/11 was not enough for you.
You do not see the entire picture.
They will put YOUR head up on a pike when they are done with you.
Israel is fighting OUR war on THIER soil so you don’t have to.
Wake up and smell the Jihad coming YOUR way.
“”Aw.....shut the f*** up, you miserable dummy.””
Oh look. More name-calling from the Israel/Bibi hater, Liz (not that that’s your real name).
I’m curious. Whose “***” are you kissing... as you propagandize and bash Israel and Netanyahu? Hamas? Muslim Brotherhood? Or just the rabid, Jew-hating leftist Democrats....?
Netz: The Jihadis want to turn YOUR town into rubble. You do not see the entire picture. “Israel is fighting OUR war on THEIR soil so you don’t have to.”
Well. thanks, Israel....but no thanks. Fight your own
frickin’ wars.....and dont do it with US tax dollars.
